Shortage of supply and increased production cost lead to price hike
The broiler chicken price has been skyrocketing in Kerala. The price of chicken in the State has reached ₹150-160 a kg. On an average one kg of dressed chicken costs around ₹250. COVID-19 lockdown disruptions, demand-supply mismatch and increase in cost of production have contributed to the increased price, said Dr.T.P.Sethumadhavan, Former Director, Entrepreneurship, Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University and Deputy director, Animal husbandry department. “Due to continuous lockdown and disruption in the supply chain, more than 50% of the broiler growers and entrepreneurs, especially those who run small farms, temporarily closed their farms,” noted Dr. Sethumadhavan.
